Media & Journalism volunteer Projects

Save to Favorites

THE HARISHCHANDRA invites you to join our community with its volunteership is open for activists, researchers, journalists, media workers, commentators, and anyone active in the news space.

Become a media volunteer
Media volunteers are extremely important to our work. Journalists from a huge variety of media are frequently looking to interview people with particular experiences of mental health problems. Being able to include a 'human interest' element can make or break a story in the media, bring an issue to life, and allow the audience to empathise with issues around mental health.

What's involved?

Our media volunteers are ordinary members of the public with lived experiences of mental health from all sorts of backgrounds. As a media volunteer, you might be on TV news speaking about employment, being interviewed for a weekend newspaper feature about experiences of depression, or featuring in a glossy magazine talking about how exercise can boost mental wellbeing. In some cases you can be interviewed anonymously, and we would never send your details to a journalist without permission - we take confidentiality very seriously. If you did agree to an interview, we’d support you both before and after the event.
